In a recent report, CNN revealed that North Carolina Republican candidate for governor, Mark Robinson, referred to himself as a ‘black Nazi’ on a pornography website’s message board, along with other controversial statements. Robinson has denied making these comments, stating that they are not characteristic of him. However, evidence linking him to the posts has been presented, causing speculation about his credibility as a candidate.
Robinson’s campaign was contacted by CNN for a response two days before the story was published, but only heard back from him shortly before the report was released. The lieutenant governor posted a video on Twitter denying the allegations, claiming they are false and manufactured.
These revelations have caused concern among voters and political figures, with the Democratic Governors Association labeling Robinson as “unhinged, dangerous, and completely unfit” to serve as governor. The controversy surrounding Robinson could also impact his campaign, as polls had already indicated he was slightly lagging behind his opponent, Democrat Josh Stein.
As the story unfolds, it remains to be seen how Robinson’s candidacy will be affected and whether these allegations will have a lasting impact on the upcoming election in North Carolina. The Republican candidate has a history of controversy, including previous statements at the Republican national convention and his stance on LGBTQ rights, which add to the scrutiny surrounding his campaign.
